Bruce Brouwer commented on LOG4J2-609:
--------------------------------------
I don't think there is anything in there that will cause stdout or stderr to be
closed. By making SimpleLogger implement Closeable, it does open that
possibility for someone using their own SimpleLogger to do that, but in this
code StatusLogger never closes SimpleLogger instances that represent stdout or
stderr. The only SimpleLoggers that get closed are the ones that are created
for files.
And as I said, it isn't finished yet, but I think it is close, at least
conceptually.

> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.status.StatusConfiguration}} allows
> you to specify a destination such as "out", "err" or a file name. If
> specifying a file, that file stream is used when creating a
> {{StatusConsoleListener}} that is added to the {{StatusLogger}}. Those
> {{StatusLogger}} listeners are never cleaned up when, for example, the
> {{XmlConfiguration}} is reconfigured or when the {{LoggerContext}} is shut
> down (e.g. in {{InitialLoggerContext.apply()}}). This leaves open file
> handles and is the source of the failing test {{FileOutputTest}} on Windows.
